It'd be naive and do an incredible disservice to not acknowledge Anthony's views on race, but I can't deny her role in women's suffrage :/

 

you're voting for me right.... right?

 

you can do both!

 

I heard an interview with him the other day and insufferable was the exact word that came to mind. He has decent politics as a left-liberal but outside of his art hearing him express them is worst. It's, like, 90% generic left-liberal platitudes. Which, like, good on you for wanting to reduce the prison population, but at least come up with a better way to say it than "our prison population is the highest ever on earth." Yeah it is but you're just ripping from Obama or whoever at that point. It's boring

 

Lots of people seem like they like the acknowledgement after the "Trump Voter" was covered every which way this election.

 

you know, as we come to a close here on election day, i have to wonder: has there been any empathy for the trump voter? who are they? why are they? anyone know of any good reporting on the subject, i feel like this has been ignored by the media.

 

i fucking hate patton oswalt lol

 

just got home from voting. can't wait for marijuana to be legalized here.

 

Cool guide from PEC.

Surprising results in certain Eastern states would suggest that results differ from pre-election polls. Possible causes include biases such as unexpected turnout effects, unrepresentative models by pollsters, or missing Trump or Clinton voters coming out of the woodwork.

Early warnings for a larger-than-expected Clinton win: North Carolina (closing time 7:30 pm, polling median at Clinton +1%) and New Hampshire (closing time 7:30-8:30pm, Clinton +1%). New Hampshire is a homogeneous and quickly-reporting state. Clinton wins in these two states would indicate that she is at or above her pre-election polling performance. If Clinton loses these states, tonight may be a nail-biter.

Trump has a reasonable path to win if he takes three of the following four states: Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

Slow counting: Virginia is slow-counting in a way that makes Republican candidates appear stronger than their eventual finish. Ignore early counts.

Inaccurate polling: Nevada's pre-election polls often understate Democratic support. If there is a gap there, it does not foretell a gap elsewhere in the nation.

 

It's on the ballot in California too!

 

smoke weed every day

sure would love to see him get in trouble for that

 

Is it gonna pass? I haven't seen any polling on it recently.

 

Obviously it's mostly been about the deplorable ones but there's some stuff like this
Trump Nation

 

No endorsement.

 

Voted for The Bern this morning.

 

I honestly have no clue. I have a med card here, so I care more about ballot measures like whether the death penalty gets repealed this time around. I also have no idea how that's polling, ha.

 

One last time: This guy is a fucking fraudulent piece of shit.

 

I guess it hits me as being of the same genre as the films produced by well-meaning white people that show POC as saviors of white people because they're not burdened by the same considerations as them.

 

Yeah, I've missed a lot of state measures this year. Just went right over my head.
